Message: [QUOTE="Umami Zen, post: 4116768, member: 10678"] For the former/current officials on the Yard -- After watching UConn's approach to breaking the press -Starting with the ball exchange between ref and in-bounds passer after a made FT or basket-- I have a question for you- Who has the responsibility to retrieve the ball to start the inbounds play? Does the player always have to wait for the ref to retrieve the ball and hand it off(or pass it) to the player to initiate play? Or can the player retrieve the ball(after made basket) and quickly pass up court without the refs involvement? Or must the ref always touch the ball irrespective of who has retrieved it prior to initiating play? I bring this up for this reason. It seemed like our approach in Atlantis was not to retrieve ball and initiate our inbounds play but rather to wait for the ref to hand off the ball (and allowing defenses to get into their pressing positions). It seemed like a lot of time lapsed before our player had the ball in their hands in many cases. As some poster mentioned. The JC teams would often use a made basket as the beginning of a fast break opportunity up court. Also curious about running the baseline on inbounds play. Any restrictions on that? Thanks for clarification. [/QUOTE]
